Acer Liquid Jade Z - User Reviews

  • The SIM card slot and the memory card just spoiled me out of nowhere and it tells me that the memory card and the SIM card are damaged, of course, at the same time, you really have to work hard to do such phone crap

  • I have this phone for three years now and it works GREAT. I literally had to shut it off just twice, during these three years because it froze. After three years it still works like the day I bought it. Not a gaming phone, but excellent photos, and all the apps I use are working perfectly. I mostly use it for communication, GPS, and internet. If you want a PC, buy a PC. This is a phone.

  • Absolutely terrible phone, freezes all the time it's not worth even if u can have it for free

  • Where can i buy phone case for acer liquid jade s57

  • i dont know what are you talking abaout,but i had this phone for 3 years and it still works.Phone is pretty desent

  • bad phone, got it here and can only talk handsfree. Shitty phone

  • Terrible phone. I bought it brand new and it was very veeery slow and it would overheat even during phonecalls. After a couple of months the microphone died completely, and the headphones with microphone died also.

  • My 'was' good but today it crasht. This is shit Phone!!!!!

  • This mobile phone is okay for persons who don't want to play video games, you can only play some stupid and boring games that don't need good phone to play on. This phone is good only for calling and messaging. If you are person who wants to find phone for video games or something professional than this is not good phone for you. I would give grade 2 of 5.

  • i need help with my phone, funny lines (guidelines) appeared on my phone all of a sudden and it look untidy on my screen, looks like scratches, but its actually the screen itself. Help!!

  • Chose other marks.... it is awful.

  • its screen broke and never found spare now its a dead phone. i cant do anything

  • its screen broke and never found spare now its a dead phone. i cant do anything

  • Just root it and it will be fine.Battery drains will stop when you set in WIFI options (Wifi-Advanced) keep WIFI on during sleep to only when plugged in or never.

  • it was defective

  • it over heats and it goes from app to app with out touching it (no control over it)

  • . The problem i have is that it doesnt stay charge for long time(thatsucks)

  • I had some performance issues and lagging, battery life is not so good but if used moderately it will last for a day, I charge it during the night anyway... I am using it for maybe two months, few days ago I have rooted it using King Root app and removed bunch of built-in bloatware, Acer really put too much of that. Now the phone finally runs fast and without issues. ROOT IT trust me.

  • I buy brand new this phone... but i got too much problems... after couple minuts on phone, processor got too hot... speakerphone not work, ... any other with similiar problems?

  • please take note that there are 2 version of this model which is "ACER JADE Z" and "ACER JADE Z PLUS".

  • This is NOT!!! an Android 5.0+ phone. It is just KitKat. And Acer hasn't released any updates though announced for a year ago. Acer actually hasn't really done any release for the phone in a year. Would you by a phone from a manufacture that doesn't follow up once their product hits the market? I know that this is my first and probably last Acer phone ever. You are warned.

  • Acer Liquid Jade Z plus its really good phone with low coast....thanks ACER . I wanna buy it one more but I can not find it any shop...

  • i never search before i grab jade Z,battery percentage drop so fast,yup this is true comments that you will charge 2 to 3x /day lagging built in game.

  • when I bought acer liquid z,I did not find user booklet in the pakage. How to get it?

  • the battery heats up quickly and i have to chrage it 2 to 3 times daily.. :(

  • Is yours unlocked? Networks will make their own version of the OS and it takes time to filter through.

  • The specs here say "Android 5.0 (Lollipop)". I don't understand why it says so since acer.com says Android 4.4 KitKat on the Acer Liquid Jade Z (S57). Though it has been said that an update will come that hasn't happened. I have had mine for 10 months and can conclude that it is not going to happen as promised. My next phone will NOT be an Acer that's for sure.

  • I experienced the lot of problem about this phone, the more you press buttons it become more heat and the battery become flat, I charge it three times a day

  • My first few weeks was enjoying the phone but now it freezes a lot,and restarts it's self now and then.just need an advise what to do with a phone cause I had it just for a month now.

  • hahahahahahhaahhahahah

  • Thks for telling me this

  • I have been in Canada and the US with this phone, I still have not received the update (still on 4.4).

  • Can somebody post a comment in which region this phone has got official lollipop upgrade. In Europe sim free, unbranded, still running 4.4.4 sadly...

  • Want protective case like available EVERYWHERE for I=Phones. ?????????????????????????????????? Can not find one for my new Acer Liquid Z - otherwise, I like the phone.

  • WIRELESS HOTSPOT FIGURED OUT As many other brands, Acer is choosing hotspot channel automatically based on surrounding WiFi networks. If you live in a crowded WiFi area, than it is very likely that your Acer phone will sellect Channel 13 for hotspot, considering it is less crowded. There is no manual setting to change this. Workaround is to get your phone close to a device working on Channel 11 and your phone will automatically choose Channel 1 or so, trying to avoid jammed frequency. Works every time.

  • Android version 5 is coming soon for the handset that Acer has confirmed Liquid Jade Z Plus can be the best choice

  • 13 MP = 1080p, I think is good.

  • Portable hotspot works fine except it is set by default to broadcast on channel 13. In North America supported channels are from 1 through 11. If your device can see (support the frequency of) channel 13 than portable hotspot will work great. Right now I'm typing this on my laptop connected to Jade Z portable hotspot. My other laptop doesn't see it. My Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn't see it. Unfortunately there is no settings in the menu to change the channel. Rooting the phone will be an easy solution, but it will void the Acer warranty. Still with Acer tech support, will keep you updated...

  • Only android 4.4.4

  • Really, is it confirmed,does it mean that the wifi hotspot is no use..

  • Is it true that wifi hotspot of the acer liquid jade z is not detectable to other mobile phones(in short no use). Anyone one here who already purchased one,pls confirm if its true.im plnanning to get one.tia

  • JUST BOUGHT IT FROM LAZADA. 16GB INTERNAL STORAGE, 2GB RAM BUT it is only on kitkat 4.4.4. so i was wondering if i check the software update and maybe update it to 5.0 - 5.1 lollipop; does it lessen the ram usage?

  • just bought a Jade Z for my daughter. Nice look. Works OK except for the fact that it regularly powers off and needs to restart. Any thoughts what can/should be done?

  • updated from official 4.4 to official 5.1 !

  • Story 1 - Bought it. tied it. loved it. turned on Portable WiFi Hot-Spot. it was easy and wifi hot-spot icon at top left. Great!......but....no device can see it. spent hours with stage 1 acer tech. ...nada. So I returned it and they gave me a new one. Story 2 - turned on Portable WiFi Hot-Spot. it was easy and wifi hot-spot icon at top left. Great!......but....no device can see it. spent hours with stage 2 acer tech. ...nada. So Tech admits its a default. So if protable wifi hot-spot is for you.....the phone is NOT!!!! the end.

  • From the name itself liquid . can i also drop this phone into liquid? :D

  • this handset is so good but battery is so poor. actually this handset's need 4000mah battery

  • Please make the battery bigger like the Liquid E700 or 4000mah acer phones are durable and good build quality phones.

  • Its much better if the acer liquid jade z upragade to 4000mah battery to have a longer happiness using the phone because if its 2k+ only the battery will dry shortly we cant use it longer as what we expect to this gadget.

  • Yes 1000 GB

  • 16gb available in Philippines.

  • Back in 15 of May, they claimed on pixmania they had 16GB version, it was both in the header and table below, now I can see they changed it to "8 Giga"

  • 16GB? Where did you read that? Could you please send us the link. (URL) LIQUID JADE S = 16 GB LIQUID JADE Z = 8 GB Thanks

  • 16GB, available on pixmania, (Europe)

  • The one I have purchased in Europe is dualSIM - dual standby, just note, that in this configuration you will not be able to put SD card into the phone.

  • One week after purchase. THE BAD. Sometimes it fails, Deezer and Spotify. 3-4 times a day blank screen. Sometimes in need of a restart. Sound not to loud and not of great quality. I use Senheiser speakers and the difference in qualify is noticeable. Tweaking the sound options does not help. Could not find a decent case yet. Battery drains very fast. Very fast. 100% when I wake up at 70% at noon. But I use it intensively. Wi-Fi, 4G always on, screen brightness medium, Facebook chat, a couple of selfies for loved ones, browsing, GPS off, textual apps, no YouTube, nor videos. Cameras just OK. I re-edit my photos with Pixlr. Plastic feeling. Slow charging time. THE GOOD. I have never paid, and will never pay more than 200 euro for a mobile, that it is supposed to last 2 years. So at 190 euro, it is a nice tag. It is thin and light, easy to care, easy to lose and dangerous to drop. It is better than sum of its parts. It is practical throughout the day. Navigation TomTom, traffic jams, train connection s, emails, calender, Facebook chat, good quality of conversation, no dropouts in signal, music, etc. makes it a reliable handheld. Although, I must carry an external battery.

  • I have no idea how Jade S is in regards with dual sim. But I can say this about Jade Z. U can put either two nano sims, either one nano and a micro SD. You cannot extend the memory if you have two sims inside. It is a semi-dual sim, since only one sim card can be active at the time.

  • No. It does not have a front flash.

  • every thing is accepted , great phone, have a 2gb ram and 16gb row version please.......

  • Okay but does it comes in an 16GB version

  • Great phone, just for the records I bought one in Europe and was pleasantly surprised as it is dual SIM model. Definitely good value for money !!! No LED in front, but still good in low light. Incredibly light phone and as summer is coming it is light for the packet too, by all means

  • Are this mobile have a front camera flash??? Plese tell me...

  • For the people who didn't know (for me also), the Jade Z comes in two versions. - 1GB Ram and 8GB storage - 2GB Ram and 16GB storage *All expendable And i want to have it and get the new Camera2 API. I WANT IT IN MAY(with Android L of course)

  • In South Africa I just saw it go on sale with Orange. It's going for the equivalent of abour $230. I'm tempted to try it out, but Acer's UI is basically android 2.3, so having lollipop won't be apparent. Acer should opt for stock android.

  • What is its price in nepal and is the battery removable or not? What about battery's capacity?

  • I also want to know if it is dual sim just like the liquid jade S

  • very good price

  • I am confused between the processor of the phone, whether its is quadcore or octacore ..in another website its mentioned as a octacore phone

  • 2 persons already voted whereas specs are incomplete as for now : "Chipset Mediatek " "CPU Quad-core " They gave it a 9.0 for performance whereas we don't even know what mediatek cpu exactly it will use. But hopefully it will be a MT6752 giving it much interest then.
